Chapter 49: Attacked from Front and Rear

In the center of the Square, a blue light sphere the size of a washbasin floated in midair; inside the sphere, a bead could be seen clearly.

And that bead was the legendary Space Magic Treasure.

"The Water-Departing Pearl!"

This was what Luo Yao had learned from the memories of a Golden Core cultivator; she knew no other information and could only learn more after obtaining the Space Magic Treasure.

"Eh?"

"What is this?"

"A treasure!"

With so much Talisman Paper, she could afford to be willful.

That didn't make sense; if there were a Space Magic Treasure, it could explain the current situation, but it couldn't explain what had just happened.

However, Luo Yao took the opportunity to approach the Space Magic Treasure and reached out to grab it.

After entering, the first thing he saw was the Dharma Treasure in the center; although he didn't know what treasure it was, he knew he must obtain it.

Wait?

In the end, she could only choose to retreat.

Although Luo Yao had lured him and Zhao Yang into a magical duel, a Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivator could naturally not be his match.

Clearly, Zhang Yan had already developed a killing intent.

Luo Yao manipulated her Divine Sense, shaping it into an invisible sword that stabbed toward Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness.

"An Array?"

Clearly, Luo Yao's attack had not so much as scratched him.

Zhang Yan paid it no mind; he flipped the Brick in his hand and blocked the attack.

Zhang Yan was stunned; he hadn't expected Luo Yao to have an ally, but seeing that Xiao Kui was only at Qi Refining Layer Seven, he curled his lip and paid no attention at all.

Still, Zhao Yang had obtained some treasures from the Cave Abode and barely managed to escape his grasp; Zhang Yan gave chase but lost track of him, ending up in this Square by sheer confusion.

Facing a Brick several times larger than her own body, Luo Yao's slight frame dared not withstand it head-on.

But thinking about it, this Dharma Treasure was obviously exceptionally precious; how could it not be protected by an Array?

He hadn't expected that an Array was even protecting the Dharma Treasure.

Then, an Earth Dragon was seen bursting from the ground and charging to kill Luo Yao.

Swish!

Luo Yao unleashed the Ruoshui Sword Technique; invisible Sword Qi wound around Zhang Yan like flowing water.

After all, earlier in the Stone Room, if Luo Yao had retreated into the Space Magic Treasure, she could not possibly have emerged from another Stone Room.

"Eh?"

Luo Yao had expected him to still show concern for the Space Magic Treasure, but he was willing to destroy the Dharma Treasure rather than let Luo Yao obtain it; Luo Yao could only retrieve her earlier defensive shield.

"Not good!"

Luo Yao's expression instantly changed; she did not want the Space Magic Treasure to be snatched away, so she barely steadied her stance, withdrew her Flying Sword, and unleashed the Ruoshui Sword Technique.

Zhang Yan was stunned; if Luo Yao had vanished before his eyes earlier by using a Thousand-Li Teleportation Talisman, then what was the situation of her sudden appearance now?

While he was momentarily stunned, Luo Yao seized the opportunity and leaped toward the Space Magic Treasure.

Boom!

The invisible Array produced ripples like water that spread outward in all directions, but it seemed it had not been broken.

And when Zhang Yan saw Luo Yao pull away, his Brick smashing toward that Dharma Treasure, his expression instantly changed; he was forced to quickly control his Weapon to avoid smashing the Dharma Treasure.

And Luo Yao was also knocked flying backward by that tremendous force.

"Hmph!"

Seeing a figure appear on the other side of the Square, Luo Yao's expression grew even more grim.

"Xiao Kui!"

Suddenly, Luo Yao heard a cry of alarm ring in her ear; her expression instantly changed.

"Get lost!"

"Hmm?"

If that struck her, she would absolutely be smashed apart like a watermelon.

Zhang Yan, after all, was at Qi Refining Tenth Layer; enduring the piercing pain in his Divine Sense, he could still unleash formidable combat power.

He hadn't even seen how Luo Yao attacked, yet he ended up spitting blood; his head still ached, and his Divine Sense seemed injured.

Crack!

Luo Yao stopped hiding; after bringing Xiao Kui out, she shouted loudly to warn.

And Zhang Yan's face turned as black as a pot bottom.

Dozens of Talisman Papers burned away completely, transforming into a massive Fireball and Ice Blades that smashed toward Zhang Yan.

Shaking off these thoughts, Luo Yao retrieved the Flying Shadow Needle and charged to kill Zhang Yan; seeing Luo Yao's move, Xiao Kui immediately charged at Zhang Yan from the other side to draw his attention for Luo Yao.

Boom!

With the full power of Qi Refining Tenth Layer unleashed, he threw a punch, and both Xiao Kui and Luo Yao were knocked flying backward.

Immediately afterward, while Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Never mind; just take her down first, then we'll see what the situation is."

He did not want such a situation to occur again.

Zhang Yan's face was gloomy; he held his head with one hand, as the earlier attack had left him utterly baffled.

He instantly thought of Luo Yao's earlier sudden appearance; could it be that she possessed a Space Magic Treasure?

Zhang Yan did not press his advantage; instead, he lunged straight for the Dharma Treasure.

Seizing this opportunity, Luo Yao quickly put distance between herself and him.

However, in the instant Luo Yao was knocked flying backward, Zhang Yan appeared beside her and swung a fist to smash into Luo Yao's head.

However, Zhang Yan naturally would not let the Dharma Treasure be snatched by Luo Yao; he rushed forward swiftly and manipulated the Brick to smash toward Luo Yao.

"Not good?"

Pfft!

Zhang Yan felt only a pain in his head, and the whole person involuntarily spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing that the Divine Sense attack was effective, Luo Yao also breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, having swallowed part of a Golden Core cultivator's Divine Sense had strengthened her own, otherwise, using Divine Sense to attack Zhang Yan would have absolutely caused a backlash.

Although the Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman in Luo Yao's hand was gone, but...

However, how Xiao Kui appeared was something that left Zhang Yan extremely puzzled.

Pfft!

The huge Brick knocked Xiao Kui flying and, protecting him in front, blocked Luo Yao's Flying Shadow Needles.

As soon as Xiao Kui emerged, seeing the situation around him, he understood what was happening, drew his Weapon, and charged to kill Zhang Yan.

Sensing the threat coming from behind, Zhang Yan swiftly manipulated the Brick to block Luo Yao's assault.

Then she took out another stack of Talisman Paper again and smashed it toward Zhang Yan.

Although he knew that if it were truly an extraordinary Dharma Treasure, it would be impossible for him to smash it to pieces, Zhang Yan dared not gamble.

But Zhang Yan was at the tenth layer of Qi Refining; with full effort, the ten-meter distance was merely an instant, and even if Luo Yao unleashed her sword technique, she would have no way to stop him.

Watching helplessly as Zhang Yan flew to the Space Magic Treasure and reached out to grab it.

"Get lost!"

He also saw Luo Yao's appearance, but his heart instinctively gave a thump; previously, Luo Yao had snatched his treasure right before his eyes, and that scene had left him with psychological trauma.

Zhang Yan quickly summoned the Brick, which transformed into something five or six meters wide, and smashed it fiercely at the Array.

Zhang Yan drew out his Dharma Treasure, a rectangular object resembling a Brick; after infusing it with Spirit Power, it became a super-large Brick and smashed toward Luo Yao.

That's right, the person who appeared was indeed Zhang Yan.

Seeing Zhang Yan's attack halt, Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made a decision.

The defensive shield, which already had cracks, finally could not endure, shattering into fragments that scattered all over the ground.

This Cave Abode is truly small!

Bang!

A crisp sound rang out, and both Luo Yao and Zhang Yan froze.

At the same time, that Zhang Yan continued to manipulate the Brick, enlarging it to the size of a mountain peak, and smashed it fiercely at Luo Yao.

Attacked from both front and back, Luo Yao immediately faced a huge crisis.
